Chapter 1739 A confrontation that will kill you if you don't pretend

? You can admire him, you can hate him, but you can not but admire him.

Florentino, this is a name that always makes the impossible possible.

It all started in the summer of 2000. Florentino, who was just a junior in the European football circle before, became famous in one fell swoop and dug Figo from the Nou Camp to the Bernabeu. Considering the hostility between Barcelona and Real Madrid Considering Figo's status as the captain of Barcelona, ​​the 60 million euros that set the world's first worth record at the time were not so eye-catching.

The biggest impact that Florentino has brought to the football world and what David Dunn admires the most is that he runs the club in the way of running a business. He believes that good can bring better and more can bring more.

When Florentino was in power, Real Madrid was a giant in the football market. As long as he was looking for a star, he would definitely become a member of Real Madrid. In the summer of 2001, Florentino captured Zidane only by relying on the words "Would you like to play for Real Madrid?" written on a napkin. record.

However, there is a saying in the Real Madrid club that Real Madrid is a team full of history and honor, and no one can be higher than the club, no matter who that person is. . .

Florentino was also known for being shrewd and cold-blooded. In his eyes, Real Madrid's interests always come first, and anyone is just a cog in the club's money-making machine.

As a businessman, Florentino knows well that members of Real Madrid care more about his ability to earn money than whether he can mobilize his facial muscles and put on a charming smile. On this point, David Dunn also agrees very much. Even if Tottenham does not have a championship in two or three years, it will not affect his status, but if the financial situation is bad, the risk of him being kicked out will increase.

From Luis Figo, to Ronaldinho, to Beckham and other stars, from the cheers of the crowd to the cold tea, Florentino got everything he wanted from the superstars, and the sponsors flocked to the seats. The game field, daily jersey sales and 50% player portrait rights. When the commercial value and competitive status of these superstars reach the edge of the ceiling, he will decisively turn around and leave to search for the next target in the player market.

Not as shrewd as Florentino, not as cold-blooded as Florentino, his demeanor is not popular with everyone, and many people hate him. But it is undeniable that the Real Madrid club in the Florentino era got rid of the deficit, and its financial data has been improving year by year.

David Dunn probably guessed what Florentino was calling for. However, he knew very well that he was dealing with a businessman, not a gambler. He will never take the risk of spending a fee that he thinks is not worth it to fight for a small probability event.

".

. . By the way, I forgot to congratulate you on the return of the king first. "

"Haha, the voting hasn't ended yet, everything is uncertain..." Florentino chuckled lightly upon hearing David Dunn's congratulations.

"Hehe, there is no suspense. I have read reports that Real Madrid had a debt of 510 million euros in the 2008-09 season. Club managers like us must first understand what the boss and fans really need. I believe that Real Madrid Members will make informed choices. And your profitability is recognized."

In terms of status in European football, David is no lower than Florentino, but whoever let Florentino rely on Real Madrid, asking for money and rich, created a reputation and influence that is too great, especially It's because Real Madrid's attraction to players is really too great, and Florentino's methods are also much more famous. He can always poach the players he likes, which is very annoying.

"Hehe, thank you..." Florentino's laughter came from the phone, and it was almost time for the pleasantries between the two to end, "David, I saw the news. A very good player, but the price you offered is really scary. I thought Abramovich and the desert tyrants were exaggerating enough, but I didn’t expect..."

"Hehe..." David Dunn said with a wry smile: "I am also very helpless, but my boss likes Ronaldo very much, and he is bound to win."

"Really? David, you should know that Real Madrid is attractive to players from all over the world. With a similar transfer fee, there is a gap between you and Real Madrid. Sorry, I don't mean to belittle Tottenham."

"No need to apologize, what you said is the truth. It is true that Real Madrid is Real Madrid after all. However, Florentino, to put it bluntly, football is actually a business. Sometimes, we have to sigh with emotion. Any professional player has to keep his head down!" David Dunn narrowed his eyes slightly, leaned against the boss chair with a phone in his hand, and smiled lightly. He liked this feeling very much. Sure enough, one of them was not bad. Qian's boss is Shuang. Even in the face of the rich and powerful Real Madrid, he can face up to the opponent's biggest reliance.

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone. Well, Florentino was indeed frowned a bit, but he was not angry, but continued to laugh: "The outside media have been rumoring that Real Madrid and Manchester United were in the last year. I signed a secret agreement about Ronaldo's transfer when I was in Beijing, so there is basically no suspense about Ronaldo's transfer to Real Madrid."

"Hehe, I've heard that too, but so what, haven't you transferred yet? Besides, even if there is such a so-called secret agreement, it is not protected by any law. After all, it bypasses FIFA. Faced with a huge difference in transfer fees, how the heavily indebted Manchester United will choose is really uncertain..."

Speaking of this, a sly smile suddenly appeared on David Dunn's lightly smiling face, his eyes flickered, and he directly took out a knife and stabbed Florentino, who is known for his talent, "Besides, even if Ronaldo transfers to Real Madrid , that is also Calderon's credit and his people, isn't it?"

"..."

Facing Florentino's silence, David Dunn said with a smile: "Actually, in my opinion, Kaka is the player that best meets Real Madrid's requirements in terms of technical and tactical ability and image."

"Hehe, why, you Tottenham are also interested in Kaka?"

"Hehe, not yet. In fact, it is our boss's personal decision to want Ronaldo to join Tottenham. My boss's age and personal likes and dislikes play a big decisive factor." David Dunn The corners of his mouth were raised, with a sneer on his face, and he said in a relaxed tone, with obvious threatening subtext in his words. He believed that with Florentino's shrewdness, he would understand it as soon as he heard it.

Either make concessions on Ronaldo's transfer to Tottenham and don't make trouble, or Real Madrid will have an extra willful enemy of the world's richest man.

"Haha, David, you also know that in football, sometimes money is not the only thing. Real Madrid is Real Madrid after all. There is a reason why a football upstart like Chelsea has never been able to catch up with its European supremacy.

At Real Madrid, it's important that they play with the greatest players in the world. "Florentino smiled happily, as if he didn't care about David Dunn's threat at all, "By the way, David, is the player named Gareth Bale in your club sold?" "

"Sorry, Bell is not for sale!" David Dunn frowned, his tone became cold, and he refused directly.

"Haha, there is nothing not for sale. You make an offer, and I will never bargain!" Florentino laughed very boldly.

I have to say that this real estate tycoon really has a way. Hearing the other party's boldness, David Dunn was also a little tempted, and he had a little admiration for Florentino. Nima, this is what I am used to spending money on. Big local tyrant, I, who is used to living a tight life at Arsenal, really need to study hard.

"Bell is not for sale! Don't test my tone, we may not have anything else at Tottenham, but we really can't spend all the money!"

"Haha, well, when you come to Spain, maybe we should meet and have a chat."

"No problem, I'll wait for your call."

Until the two hung up the phone, no one mentioned Ronaldo again, because everything that should be said has been said, and the rest depends on the choices of both parties and Florentino's determination. Tottenham, who were short of money, had a touch.

"...Boss, I think Florentino should give up chasing Ronaldo, not because of money or fear of offending us. The most important thing is that even if Ronaldo transfers to Real Madrid, it is not his operation, not his people. , this is the most important point for him and for the Real Madrid club!"

After David Dunn finished communicating with Florentino, he immediately called Andy Smith, the rich and wayward boss who was on vacation in Hawaii, and made his own analysis.
